High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the biggest risk
factors in heart disease, stroke and many other health
problems.It's often called the 'silent killer' because it has no
real symptoms. If you have hypertension it needs to be diagnosed,
monitored and treated.

Blood pressure testing is most effective when carried out
continuously over a 24-hour period (Ambulatory Blood Pressure
Monitoring - ABPM).

What are allergies? An allergy is an overreaction by the body's
immune system to often everyday things that should not normally
bother people. Allergens, the substances that cause allergies, can
be found in the environment - the places where we live and work -
and in food.

When you are pregnant, your blood contains fragments of your
baby's DNA. A non-invasive prenatal test analyses this DNA in a
sample of your blood, to assess the chance of trisomy 21
(Down syndrome) and two other genetic conditions, trisomy 18
(Edwards syndrome) and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). While some
genetic conditions run in families, these chromosomal disorders
typically do not. They can happen in any pregnancy. Although the
chance of such conditions increases with age, most babies with Down
syndrome are born to women under 35 years of age.

Whenever your heart beats the process is started by an
electrical impulse in the top right hand corner of your heart. This
impulse then travels in a diagonal direction to the bottom left
hand corner of your heart and spreads to various other parts of the
heart along the way causing the muscles of the heart to contract
and make the heart beat.

A skin cancer is the uncontrolled
growth of abnormal cells in the skin. These abnormal cells usually
arise from prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can alter the
genetic makeup of the cells, causing the cells to mutate. These
mutated cells then continue to replicate and a skin cancer can
form.
